No U.S. travel advisories are in effect along Mexico''s Rivera Maya, home to Mayan ruins such as Tulum.

The Mayan ruins at Tulum on Mexico''s Riviera Maya are a popular tourist draw. Some believe the Maya predicted the end of the world on Dec. 21, 2012. Tourism officials hope the doomsday prediction will draw record crowds.

The turquoise waters of Tulum, Mexico, helped it take fifth place in TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards for world's best beach destinations. The No. 1-rated hotel in the area on TripAdvisor? Posada Luna del Sur, which is about a five-minute drive away from the Tulum archaeological ruins.
